7 Days in Syria Film Screening

The Center for Civil and Human Rights and Creative Visions will show a screening of 7 DAYS IN SYRIA, a timely film showing the families in Syria living on the front-lines of the conflict. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Bee Nguyen of Atlanta Welcomes Refugees and Thomas Reynolds of CARE.

7 Days in Syria follows Newsweek’s Middle East Editor, Janine di Giovanni, as she journeys into the heart of the conflict in Syria, offering an extremely rare glimpse into the lives of families struggling to survive the frontlines.

 Along the way Janine meets a carpenter-turned-baker, risking his life to feed four neighborhoods. Then there’s a Syrian teenager who was studying economics until the university was bombed. She now videos injuries and deaths, a very important task for posterity and war tribunals. Despite the threat of constant shelling and bombardment, their courage and resilience shines through in impossible circumstances.
